The admirable platform adopted by
tn. democrats of New York at their
state convention held at Saratoga in
September, contains the following
plank:
The Democratic party is the proved
friend of all who have come to our
country seeking 10 become partners
in its welfare and citizens obedient to
its laws. There is in our America
bread enough and work enough for
all. and the federal laws now on the
statute book for the promotion and
protection of foreign emigration do
not, in our opinion, if they shall be
faithfully executed by the proper fed
eral and state authorities. require pres,
ent enlargement or amendment.
The democrats of the empire state
have taken good stand upon the inn
portant question of Immigration. Too
many shallow political quacks are
wont to claim that from liberal pol
icy in regard to foreign immigration
spring all the ills to which the country
is subject. The laws now on the
statute book, if rightly enforced will
prevent the landing on our shores of
paupers, vicious persons and criminals;
and this is all that ought to be done
in the matter. Narrow minded per-
sons imbued with national prejudices
may long for something more in the
way of "sifting process" admitting
only those who would come up to a
knownothing standard of excellence,
and holding even the most favored ones
on long term of probation without
admitting them to the full rights of
citizenship. We are glad to find the
democracy of New York setting its
face hard against any step in the latter
direction. We are also glad to find
that President Cleveland, the leader of
the democratic hosts throughout the
nation is in line with the Saratoga
platform, and a true American HIM
self, entertains no prejudice against

Our Daily Bread.

Heavy and sour bread or biscuit has
a vast influence though the digestive
organs upon the measure of health
we enjoy. How important to our
present happiness and future useful
ness the blessing of good health and a
sound constitution are, we can only
realize when we have lost them, and
when it is too late to repair the dam
age. Notwithstanding these facts,
thousands of persons daily jeopardize
not only their health, but their lives,
and the healthS and lives of others, by
using articles in the preparation of
their food the purity and healthfulness
of which they know nothing. Perhaps
a few cents may have been saved, or
it may have been more convenient to
obtain the articles used and the house
keeper takes the responsibility and
possibly will never know the mischief
that has been wrought Paterfamilias

dren may have lost their appetites, or
look pale; if SO, the true cause is rarely
suspected. The weather, the lack of
outdoor air, or some other cause. is

system of adulterated food goes on.

Chauncey NJ. Depew, the great after
dinner speaker and republican leader,
claims that the American people do
not elect men of ability to the presl-
dency, and says, that as the average
intelligence of the people is mediocre,
they seem to fear that it would be
dangerous to put anything but medi
ocrity in the presidential chair" So
great man as Mr.. Depew should not
indulge in such silly talk. For three
succeeding times last past pre-emi-
nently able men have been elected to
the highest Office in the gift of the
people of the United States. Certainly
no sensible man would put down Mr..
Tiden, Mr.. Garfield and Mr.. Cleveland
as mediocre. Mr.. Depew shows an
alarming lack of that democracy which
begets faith in the ability of the
people to wisely govern themselves,
and moreover seems to forget what
the American people have done lately
in the way of electing presidents.

William Welch, formerly Of Mad
ison, but now Of Minneapolis, was at
the latter place on Monday indited for
iibeling Postmaster General Villas in a
little sheet called 1.-The Home Diary"
The Pioneer Press calls Welch dem
ocratic lawyer, but he will be remem-
bered by many citizens Of Mineral
Point rs the veteran republican who
during the campaign Of 1876 delivered
in the city hall one of the most violent
partisan speeches ever listened to.
Thomas W. Bishop, formerly of Min
eral Point, but now editor of The
Tribune, ut Nolga, Dakota, is well ac-
quainted with Welch's past history and
writes it up as follows:
Everybody who lived at or near
Madison, Wis. for ten years up to
1865 knew or had heard of "Old Bill
Welch;" he had been very poor
printer and publisher, was worse
lawyer, a crank, and general inter
ferer with the affairs of others; in
politics, well he had no party, though
he generally claimed to be republi-
can. After being refused space con-
t,nually for his virulence in the news
papers. WEIGH bought few pounds of
type and a small pr2ss and for the sat
isfaction of his own Immature would
occasionally set up "a page of paper
about rs large as a mans hand which
he called The Home Diary" Only a
few copies of each We're printed, and
MS few knew what Bill said in his
editorials and cared less, little was
heard about him or his paper. Now
however, after the lapse of n quarter
of century, Old Bill, whom every
body thought dead and knew ought to
be years ago, turns up at Minneapolis,
Mimi, and with his little "Home
Diary" is defendant in libel suit
brought by one of the most distinguish
ed and well known men of the nation.
1t appears that ne has made some bad
charges against Postmaster General
Villas in his paper and run off lot of
extras for circulation. He would do il
il it came into his vindictive head
He came near having poor printer
(now City Editor Stone of the Madison
DemocraD mobbed in 1865 owing tC
his (Welch'sl persistent hellishnesS
The only wonder about the whole affair
to the writer now is, that Old Bill
should still be in the land of the living
and that man like Villas, knowing
Welch SO well, should take any notice
of his rawlings"

citizens of foreign birth or parentage.
In speech delivered at the Merchants
Exchange. st. Louis. Oct. Sd, Mr..
Cleveland said:
Il am here reminded of what | sup
pose to be the fact that more than one
half of your voters are of foreign
birth and parentage. The growth and
increase of your city in every way in
dictate, | think, that the condition of
of your population, thus made apparent
is by no means to be deprecated; and
my observation during long resi-
dence in city similarly situated has
led me to know the value to any COM
munity of the industrious, frugal and
thrifty men and women, who come
from foreign lands to find new homes
with us; who invest themselves with
our citizenship, and who are satisfied
and content with the freedom of our
government, and with our laws and
institutions. The line is easily drawn
between them and the nOn-aSsimilating
emigrants who seek our shores solely
for purposes involving disturbance and
disadvantage to our body polite. l
hope | may without improperly, say
this much in recognition of what has
been done for st. Louis by its natural
lied citizens, as well as in remem-
brance of many kind and valued
friends and associates of former days
1t Is quite probable that the question
OF the restriction of emigration will
enter into the national campaign next
year, and if it does the democratic party
will doubtless be found maintaining
its record as the proved friend OF
honest and industrious foreign-born
citizens.

The Brodhead independent

The rIany friends of Father and
Mother Cheney will learn with regret
of the sad death of their son, Loren G.
Cheney. at his residence in the town Of
Emerald Grove, Rock Co. He COM
mitted suicide by cutting his throat
and jumping into the pond at an early
hour on Wednesday morning. 1t was
the 18th anniversary of his wedding
and friends had prepared for grand
surprise party in the evening, but the
day of rejoicing was turned to mourn
ing He had been for some time in
poor health, and for a few days had
shown marked symptoms of mental
disease
The Brodhead Mill has been moved
out upon the solid ground. There still
remains a big job to put it in running
order, and for this no definite arrange
ments have been made.
The Darlington Register.
The storm on last Sunday played sad
havoc in the town of Kendall. Five
fine horses were killed by lightning,
three of them belonging to Patrick Fox
and two to Timothy Cain. The loss to
these gentlemen will aggregate at least
$3.50.
| Never were we so surprised as on
Wednesday when we saw Allen Lewis.
the young man reported to have been
killed at Grand Crossing by the cars
about weeks ago. When told of the
rumor by some Darlington gentleman
at Galena, he at once set out for
Shullsburg, where his brother J. z. is
located, to inform him that he was
neither dead nor sleeping, and then
here to tell the same to his brother
Tom. He will leave in day or so for
Dodgeville, where he will give an
agreeable surprise to his mother and
sisters.

WHERE REFORM IS NEEDED.

l The New York Journal of Commerce re- members time when there was such thing as the privacy of home life. The right to enter his own dwelling and to shut cut the gaze of curious eyes from his domestic affairs was once accorded every honest citizen. h. 1 deed, this right was regarded as so sacred l that Jefferson thought it was not sufficiently guarded in the original constitution of the country. He therefore insisted upon an l amendment in which it was more carefully protected by special article which stipu- lated that it "shall Eet be violated" and prohibited any invasion of such privacy without legal warrant based on solemn affirmation of probable cause.
 But times have changed and the modern journalist has helped to change them. ''1n l his practice the barriers between public and private life have been entirely swept away. Not only every act and deed, but every | thought of any human being the world over, | if it can be forced into utterance from the l lip, is fair subject for exhibition and dis cussion." "And no one is safe from such | intrusion" "It may be that the secluded | family are in desolation amid the ashes of their dead hopes, or covering from the sight | of some ghastly skeleton, and desire nothing so much as to hide their grief or their shame from mocking eyes. He will not respect their tears, and fairly gloats over tale of infamy if he can be the first to tell it.'
 This is not too strong language by which to describe some of the deeds of the ghouls of the press. It is not surprising that there | should be reaction against their heartless work. But they have had a good deal of encouragement. The Bridgeport Standard very properly believes that it is we'll to in sist more strenuously upon the blame which belongs to the more decent portion of the reading public, which, while it shudders
 shrugs it's shoulders, holds it's nose, and protests, still buys and reads, and thus sus
 tains the journals which prostitute journal
 ism, lower the public taste and outrage every sense of honor and right which should gov ern the men of every community in theil relations with one another. ''So long as we ourselves are not made the subjects of curious comment, ribald jest or malicious libel, we take but far off and secondhand interest in the reformation of such practices, but some one suffers keenly and it is only { question of time when our turn will come also. There are positively no safeguards and the man who buys and reads and laughs over the outrages upon the privacy of his friends and neighbors to day is putting z premium upon the same treatment of him self, for public edi6catioo, to morrow"
 So long as the newspapers which have nc respect for the rights or the feelings of mer | and women find profit in their work so long will they continue it. The only radical cure for the outrages which are so often and SC justly complained of is public sentiment which will make it unpro6table to commit
